That cut at 5:30-5:50 sounds really horrible. You could post the piece in 2 parts, or just interrupt it at some point, but editing and mixing sounds like this, creates irrelevant dissonances and shatters the structure of it. You raped a masterpiece.
I discovered this music through Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir's Free Dance program in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Beautifully skated to a beautiful piece of music! :)
Tell me you've heard Beethoven's 9th... Maybe it's it's just me, but it would seem to me that Beethoven's 9th is far superior to this, despite this being such a great piece of work.
@captainchumfy You know why I came to this video? Because I wanted to "force" myself to listen to Mahler because I find it DIFFICULT to enjoy his music sometimes. I actually am liking this, to MY SURPRISE.
Beethoven is 2,000% superior! I think this is pretty, but the other day we were walking in Polanco, Mexico City and they had some advert about something with Mozart and Mahler on it and my dad and I both said it's an insult to Mozart to be written in the same place. I agree with you!!!!
@elitestar He has nothing to do with getting himself born, thing I found pretty unfair. But because we are lucky, his parents do have something to do with his birth. Again, thanks Mahler for Mahler, but if you wanna go backwards, thank Mahler parents for making love and deciding to bring another human being, a talented one, into this mess.
i love it so much....i can see with my soul, my intelect, my will, how this music is celebrating death... But not the death of individuum, Its the death of man as such...amazing...exactly how its in Death in Venice from Visconti...
@tcoutoadv Aha i'd heard of him before when i had a vague interest in classical but never heard his music, i was just reading Bukowski's page on imdb and it sais he listened to Mahler so thought i would try it.
@tcoutoadv I´ve just read the first chapters from Factotum, there´s this part where a fat woman is giving him oral while listening to Mahler, hahaha, it cracked me up. Bukowski, the last truly damned writer.
I just discovered Mahler, from o tv chanel from Germany DW, a few months ago, maybe more then 6. But they talk about a movie there and they make me so curios and wonder: Who is Gustav Mahler in a movie about his life on Freud's couch, because his wife cheated on him with Walter Gropius. Those two a heard about them, the great psihanalist and the other one architect, people who change history. But now I discovered Mahler !!!
Can't believe it I only discovered it 35 years ago , and I can still love it since this first day ... there are so many people , who would love Mahler's music but never heard of him .
Right, after all the previous comments, bar one, had absolutely nothing to say about this piece of music, I think its brilliant, from the pen of a man who must have been in touch with his emotions and the beauty and despair of life. Its all here, nothing else is required, not even metal.
I have endeavoured in vain to find which recording this is. It is somewhat more pronounced and visceral that the recording's I possess and would love to know what it is - it defn isnt Haitink nd Bernstein...or Karajan (bah) Anyone know?
@eerrjjll You may well have a point. This, however, is the finest adaggio from any symphony I have ever heard. Mahler was a conductor first and had a troubled time as a musician. How do you think he should be rated against say, Moart?
@alexandermorison@alexandermorison I can't try to rate Mozart against Mahler using the same scale... it's just impossible. Mozart's work is unique in profusion and in quality (certainly "easy listening" sometimes). I didn't say that Mahler was a deficient composer but a mediocre one I think. Anyway, you are right... first he was a conductor and an academic. We can see this clearly in the average rating of Mahler's pieces.
I agree. This composition is the musician's tidiest one.
You clearly don't know anything about life or suffering if you consider Mahler to be mediocre. How can you be so presumptuous about such a great soul? And what average rating are you referring to? And do ratings mean anything at all? Only to people such as yourself, I suspect.... If you want tidiness, by the way, try and get out to Ikea more often. Goodbye.
tonight I went and listened to Mahler's "symphony #7" at Paris' Theatre des Champs Elysee. It was the first piece by Mahler I have heard, and although it is one of his lesser known pieces it blew me away. I am forever grateful Mr. Mahler, thank you...
It is also interesting that Mahler and Mendelssohn, two men of predominantly Jewish descent, strongly adhered to Christianity. This is clear in their symphonies - Mendelssohn's 2nd celebrates the anniversary of the Reformation, while Mahler's symphonies often contain strong Christian overtones. If it was not for Christianity we would not have the great masses and chorales, which would be a loss. But most certainly, the world would be somewhat safer and more peaceful.
In fact, I wonder how easy the magnitude of Bach's religious beliefs will be to decipher, as it is known that (at least officially) he changed his religion at least twice in his life. In the days of piety and great antagonism between the Protestant and Catholic parts of Europe, that is not a sign of piety. Of course, the changes were probably for reasons of maintaining employment, and simple pragmaticism may be the answer. But Bach may not have been as pious as is commonly assumed.
@PhysicalsimForever people were forced to change their religion at that time of else they would be killed. Also he changed to a protestant belief because of how corrupt the catholic church was at that time.
@fleammm all people should be forced to change religion into NO religion. This forcing can be done with facts and facts only that show there won't be and never has been a god.
By the way, I am also an atheist - and proud of it. Bach and Mozart weren't, I'm not sure about Beethoven (he might have been, nobody is quite sure), but I like their music anyway. And also Mahler.
some of the most heartbreaking music you will ever hear. The WHOLE symphony is an outstanding masterpiece. I listen to it at least once a day and after months, I still hear something new each time. It is too much to take in all at once. ...it never gets old.
"Mahler is the most significant composer of all time. Everything that has ever been or will be in this world is expressed in Mahler's music: humanity's aspirations, our fears, our doubts, our hopes - everything. He is the Mount Everest of symphonic music, the culmination of everything that was ever achieved in composition, structure and orchestration." - Eliahu Inbal
@freshhh1994 No offense, but that quote by Eliahu Inbal is a good example of Jewish self-aggrandizement. Jews tend to exaggerate and overemphasize the artistic and intellectual works of other Jews. (Inbal and Mahler are both Jewish) It's a tribal thing. The blog "Occidental Observer" has a great essay on this very subject (Jews & Mahler) this month.
IMO, Mahler IS a great composer, I love his work. But - the most significant composer of all time? The Mount Everest of symphonic music? No.
I don't really think that being jewish has anything to do with it. I know that many people, myself included, who honestly feel that way about Mahler's music, and I am an atheist.
@freshhh1994 I'm not saying you have to be Jewish to like Mahler. I'm not Jewish and I like Mahler too.
But I AM saying that many Jews tend to exaggerate the genius and influence of artists and intellectuals who are also Jewish. . Eliahu Inbal's quote is a good example of this kind of "over the top" hyperbole. It's a form of ethnic solidarity, a support system.
Do a search for the article "Why Mahler? Norman Lebrecht and the Construction of Jewish Genius." It gives many examples of this.
I must respectfully disagree with your proposition. Religion doesn't always have to be a factor. Sometimes composers are simply to be judged on the merits of their art, and nothing more. For example, take a look at this following quote about Bach's music:
@freshhh1994: All groups associated with a famous individual tend to play him up over rivals. You are right (obviously) in that music is a universal gift to humanity, and is not dependent on religion. We know, for example, of great composers who were not religious, such as Schumann, Brahms, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky and Verdi, just to name a few. It is, however, true the the wealth of the churches before the secular age meant a number of great works were inspired by Christianity, such as masses.
As much as I love Adaggieto , and I agree it is a beuatiful piece of music, you should really look into other Mahler's works, I am betting my entire collection of his syhphonies, you will be stunned!
And just in the 5th symppony, this movement is so soothing and lyrical, but when I listen to the first movemnt, the Trauermarsch, i literally fall into a trans!
I really don't want to recommend anything in particular, just "try it all" LOL, you will not regret it
@jthameschoir08 I see what you were trying to do. I do it too sometimes as well.
But you fucked it up. If I had said "Shutter Island showed me this song!" Then your comment would have made sense. But all I did was thank it for showing me the song.
So your comment doesn't only make no sense, but now you look like a complete moron.
@Johnny89Applez You clearly can't comment on the internet without getting the tone of the message. I had no intention of this being offensive. I'm sorry. I was just saying that i didn't know it was on the movie. Don't take everything sarcastically. I'm sorry if that offended you.
@jthameschoir08 I can't comment on the internet without getting the tone of the message?
Well maybe you need to learn how to word your comments better.
How can I not take "Oh shit seriously?! I never noticed" as a sign of sarcasm. Who says that when they're just making a statement. "Really? That's cool, I never knew that." Would be a much better way to talk to someone.
It's hard to believe that Mahler wrote this in 1901-1902. It's so modern sounding. I can clearly hear how Ennio Moricone was influenced by this genius. I'll never understand how someone can not appreciate this magnificent music.
Some emotions simply cannot be conveyed through the lyrics of a song, which is why I believe classical is still an essential part of music- even today. :)
Bit rough or cliche'd, but fetching actually, the scenes get the idea across. I don't know Robocop, but I think the music would work well with Blade Runner - that is such a romantic forelorn movie.
@hutz I totally agree. But how can dislike the video with this piece playing?! If you dont like the images, just close your eyes and enjoy the beauty (thats basically what I did, i agree this isnt a great montage to the music)
@interpol8694 i love mahler and classical music, but that does not mean that modern music is not music, it is just different to what you know and have experienced. perhaps you should widen your perspective?
@interpol8694 i agree that the mayority of todays music is crap, but not all of it, there is still music which means something and transmits an actual messsage and stand for something other than '' i have my bitches and get rich or die trying etc.'' believe it or not, metal is a beautiful type of music just like this one, just its beauty is harder to appreaciate but when on does, its a fountain of beauty
@CuriosityRoads im sorry dude but thats just plain ignorance from you, metal music takes a talent that the mayority of people lack, its a music which talks about philosophy, history, mythology, science, god, the devi, its a fountain were you can find different themes spoken philosophically, you have no idea how much talent it takes,almost all succesful metal guitarists were guitar masters when they were just teens, youre just stereotyping and generalizing, its not like that, i agree in some
@MrMig3 I'm very well informed. Check out my page. You'll see I've uploaded video tributes to metal singers and I have plenty of metal music present in my favourites list.
You say metal is a "music which talks about philosophy, history, mythology, science, god, the devil". This is true, but metal deals with these issues in the most superficial and childish of ways. Most religious or philosophical talk in the genre is nothing more than a juvenile dismissal of faith, for example...
@CuriosityRoads how can these themes be superficial when theyre talked in the most objective and accurate way, the themes are not addressed to ANYONE, and there is no judging at all in metal, slayer talks about the nazi holocaust in a mature objective way, they dont judge nazis they just tell what happended with event analysis, again, show me a song with immature childish lyrics, i dare you to find one
@MrMig3 Furthermore, The lyrics and music lack subtlety and sincerity, true emotional expression being discarded in favour of blind anger and ignorant posturing. Sure, these metal musicians have an impressive degree of technical skill, but they just don't have any substance or depth. Most metal bands write music not to make an artistic statement, but instead to fit in with the metalhead crowd and sell records.
@CuriosityRoads and if what you say is true, show me a song in which these themes are interpreted as you claim them to be, if you want i could show you as many lyrics as you want to proove my claim, and i would never finish showing you all of them, the singing in death metal (death growl) although is openly condemned to be talentless and stupid, it is extremly hard and demanding, maybe people cant appreciate it, but its still demanding as hell,
@CuriosityRoads why do you think metal is so underground? it doesnt give a fuck about money, they do music becuase they like it, and they do it for the fans, but they in no way will change the style just because the fans dont like it. and of course we can see some metal artists (particularly Norwegian black metal), condem chritstianity, but not in their songs, there is no judging in metal, and that is a big thing,
@MrMig3 While they possess talent of a sort, the majority of their music is disposable rubbish. In no way is it comparable artistically to the works of the greatest classical masters, who sacrificed an enormous amount in pursuit of their artistic vision.
@CuriosityRoads dude in now way metal artists do music to impress the crowd, thats the most stupid statement ive heard in my life, of course as in every genre there are possers, in this case metallica is a big one, there are metal artists who give nothing more than their life to do music regardless whats trendy, metal artists who dont have much but are satisfied as long as they enjoy what they do, the technicality is unspeakable , of course there is no formula, thats the
@CuriosityRoads point so every artist has their style even though theyre the same subgenre like other artists, now i know no metal artists who does music to sell records exept the mainstream ones like metallica, i'mo sorry but you got that one wrong, there are metalheads who dont have much and they dont care, they do it for themselves, metal has the most unique and talented technique and music consistency, and you generalized again abkut the lyrics, tell m how many metal artists do you know?
@CuriosityRoads genres the rhythm and melody are a bit more difficult to conceal, but there are metal subgenres in which the melody is present, your just judging without knowing anything at all, im not saying you have to like it, but if one is a good musician one can see if there is talent in ANY type of music, i dont see talent on mainstream pop, but i do see talent on this, a shitload of talent, just like in metal, inform yourself before judging something,
really? I guess different things strike people in different ways. Okay, Beethoven really touches me too. But for me Beethoven is for Happy emotions and Mahler is for Sad/Angry emotions. You very well could just be old fashioned, and I respect that.
@ironpizza actually the reason I love beethoven is his music is very dark. He does have some happy ones like the 9th but I prefer the melancholic and obscure ones. I heard he was bipolar, maybe thats why he has such a whide range of emotions in his music
@Mendelevium146 On the whole though, Mahler is significantly darker than Beethoven. Try listening to the first two movements of the same symphony (No. 5) if you think this is too beautiful.
respect to all people still reading great artists like bukowski and etc while listening to such a beautiful music.

But I AM saying that many Jews tend to exaggerate the genius and influence of artists and intellectuals who are also Jewish. . Eliahu Inbal's quote is a good example of this kind of "over the top" hyperbole. It's a form of ethnic solidarity, a support system.
Do a search for the article "Why Mahler? Norman Lebrecht and the Construction of Jewish Genius." It gives many examples of this.

I must respectfully disagree with your proposition. Religion doesn't always have to be a factor. Sometimes composers are simply to be judged on the merits of their art, and nothing more. For example, take a look at this following quote about Bach's music:
freshhh1994 9 months ago
@utube9000
“Like cold showers and hot baths, Bach’s music is an almost satisfactory substitute for sex.
Its purity grips minds slightly too rarified to be properly religious. It must be listened to,
sung and played and discussed with an expression of ineluctable piety. Compared with
the music of Bach; Beethoven’s and Mozart’s efforts are the soiled product of the dirty
human hand."
-Peter Gammond
Now that's what I call artistic piety.
freshhh1994 9 months ago
@freshhh1994: All groups associated with a famous individual tend to play him up over rivals. You are right (obviously) in that music is a universal gift to humanity, and is not dependent on religion. We know, for example, of great composers who were not religious, such as Schumann, Brahms, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky and Verdi, just to name a few. It is, however, true the the wealth of the churches before the secular age meant a number of great works were inspired by Christianity, such as masses.

As much as I love Adaggieto , and I agree it is a beuatiful piece of music, you should really look into other Mahler's works, I am betting my entire collection of his syhphonies, you will be stunned!
And just in the 5th symppony, this movement is so soothing and lyrical, but when I listen to the first movemnt, the Trauermarsch, i literally fall into a trans!
I really don't want to recommend anything in particular, just "try it all" LOL, you will not regret it

It's hard to believe that Mahler wrote this in 1901-1902. It's so modern sounding. I can clearly hear how Ennio Moricone was influenced by this genius. I'll never understand how someone can not appreciate this magnificent music.

Some emotions simply cannot be conveyed through the lyrics of a song, which is why I believe classical is still an essential part of music- even today. :)

CuriosityRoads 7 months ago
@CuriosityRoads im sorry dude but thats just plain ignorance from you, metal music takes a talent that the mayority of people lack, its a music which talks about philosophy, history, mythology, science, god, the devi, its a fountain were you can find different themes spoken philosophically, you have no idea how much talent it takes,almost all succesful metal guitarists were guitar masters when they were just teens, youre just stereotyping and generalizing, its not like that, i agree in some
MrMig3 7 months ago
@MrMig3 I'm very well informed. Check out my page. You'll see I've uploaded video tributes to metal singers and I have plenty of metal music present in my favourites list.
You say metal is a "music which talks about philosophy, history, mythology, science, god, the devil". This is true, but metal deals with these issues in the most superficial and childish of ways. Most religious or philosophical talk in the genre is nothing more than a juvenile dismissal of faith, for example...
CuriosityRoads 7 months ago
@CuriosityRoads how can these themes be superficial when theyre talked in the most objective and accurate way, the themes are not addressed to ANYONE, and there is no judging at all in metal, slayer talks about the nazi holocaust in a mature objective way, they dont judge nazis they just tell what happended with event analysis, again, show me a song with immature childish lyrics, i dare you to find one
MrMig3 7 months ago
@MrMig3 Furthermore, The lyrics and music lack subtlety and sincerity, true emotional expression being discarded in favour of blind anger and ignorant posturing. Sure, these metal musicians have an impressive degree of technical skill, but they just don't have any substance or depth. Most metal bands write music not to make an artistic statement, but instead to fit in with the metalhead crowd and sell records.
CuriosityRoads 7 months ago
@CuriosityRoads and if what you say is true, show me a song in which these themes are interpreted as you claim them to be, if you want i could show you as many lyrics as you want to proove my claim, and i would never finish showing you all of them, the singing in death metal (death growl) although is openly condemned to be talentless and stupid, it is extremly hard and demanding, maybe people cant appreciate it, but its still demanding as hell,
MrMig3 7 months ago
@CuriosityRoads why do you think metal is so underground? it doesnt give a fuck about money, they do music becuase they like it, and they do it for the fans, but they in no way will change the style just because the fans dont like it. and of course we can see some metal artists (particularly Norwegian black metal), condem chritstianity, but not in their songs, there is no judging in metal, and that is a big thing,
MrMig3 7 months ago
@MrMig3 While they possess talent of a sort, the majority of their music is disposable rubbish. In no way is it comparable artistically to the works of the greatest classical masters, who sacrificed an enormous amount in pursuit of their artistic vision.
CuriosityRoads 7 months ago
@CuriosityRoads dude in now way metal artists do music to impress the crowd, thats the most stupid statement ive heard in my life, of course as in every genre there are possers, in this case metallica is a big one, there are metal artists who give nothing more than their life to do music regardless whats trendy, metal artists who dont have much but are satisfied as long as they enjoy what they do, the technicality is unspeakable , of course there is no formula, thats the
MrMig3 7 months ago
@CuriosityRoads point so every artist has their style even though theyre the same subgenre like other artists, now i know no metal artists who does music to sell records exept the mainstream ones like metallica, i'mo sorry but you got that one wrong, there are metalheads who dont have much and they dont care, they do it for themselves, metal has the most unique and talented technique and music consistency, and you generalized again abkut the lyrics, tell m how many metal artists do you know?
MrMig3 7 months ago
@CuriosityRoads genres the rhythm and melody are a bit more difficult to conceal, but there are metal subgenres in which the melody is present, your just judging without knowing anything at all, im not saying you have to like it, but if one is a good musician one can see if there is talent in ANY type of music, i dont see talent on mainstream pop, but i do see talent on this, a shitload of talent, just like in metal, inform yourself before judging something,

@ironpizza actually the reason I love beethoven is his music is very dark. He does have some happy ones like the 9th but I prefer the melancholic and obscure ones. I heard he was bipolar, maybe thats why he has such a whide range of emotions in his music
